Rapsody Drops “Lost Ones” Freestyle On Dr. Dre’s Beats 1 Radio Show (Video)
So official! You see and hear it above. Rapsody in the studio with Dr. Dre, who declares her his “new favorite female MC. Check for her!” Maaaan, if 9th Wonder (with Jamla) has your back AND Dr. Dre is giving you massive respect (no fronting)… you got both coasts locked down! You have the game on SMASH harder than The Hulk. So shiiid, there is nothing left but to listen to Rapsody turn green (literarily) and go BEAST MODE; emceeing over one of the BEAST MODE tracks (Lauryn Hill’s “Lost Ones”) ever!! Listen.

Lauryn Hill Performs “Feeling Good” Live on ‘The Tonight Show’ (Video)
L Boogie sang that! You can admit it, once you watch. She was Jimmy Fallon’s guest on The Tonight Show – doing her tribute cover of “Feeling Good†(off the “Nina Revisited… A Tribute to Nina Simone” compilation) with a live band.
Lauryn Hill – “Black Rage” (Sketch)
An old sketch of Black Rage, done in my living room. Strange, the course of things. Peace for MO.

Seems as though, like many timeless artists’ works, Lauryn already had material that applies to the troubles we face today. Case in point, this lyrical sketch (“Black Rage”) L Boogie had that codifies the happenings and fallout in Ferguson. Download a FREE copy and sit with it. Let it sink in.

Lauryn Hill – “Neurotic Society” (Compulsory Mix)
Lauryn Hill has something to say! So, she put this out. Think she cares about what her haters might think?
‘Opinions are like @ssholes, and most of them stink.’
– Lauryn Hill, “Neurotic Society”
Nah, probably not. If you like this “Neurotic Society” (Compulsory Mix) you can pick it up at iTunes now. The song has much to say, but here’s what Lauryn has to say about the song and why its release was ‘compulsory’ to her:
‘Hello All:
Here is a link to a piece that I was ‘required’ to release immediately, by virtue of the impending legal deadline. I love being able to reach people directly, but in an ideal scenario, I would not have to rush the release of new music… but the message is still there. In light of Wednesday’s tragic loss (of former label mate Chris Kelly), I am even more pressed to YELL this to a multitude that may not understand the cost of allowing today’s unhealthy paradigms to remain unchecked!

Happy Birthday Roberta Flack (Video)
Not many female soul singers have had the impact that Roberta Flack has had on virtually all genres of music. From hip hop to rock, Flack’s musical influence continues to have its place in popular tunes. One of the nicest joints with Flack’s influence laced within can be seen above. She and Lauryn Hill, along with The Fugees, transform a classic into a hip hop staple.
R&B: D’Angelo – “Black Hole Sun” (Cover)
D’Angelo has been missing for a while, and even though this is not a piece of his newest material, the releasing of any material from the soul singer is a good sign for his fans (including myself) who wants a return to the Brown Sugar and Voodoo days. According to ?uestlove this is an cover of SoundGarden’s classic “Black Hole Sun” recorded 8 years ago, but a part of warming the public up to D’Angelo as the new album is “97%” complete. We hear this all the time from artists who go on these long layoffs (see Lauryn Hill) and never get around to actually putting any material out that the people so desperately want to hear. However since ?uestlove is involved, this situation may provide a better outcome. Besides that, this is a pretty dope cover of a classic tune. Enjoy!
